The citizens of Cheyenne are deter
mined to show in a public way their APP
probation of the increased railroad facili
ties which the coming here of the Chey-
cnne 4 Burlington will give them. This
Is no more than Just aud right, for the
seeds are now being planted which in the
iullness of lime will bear rich fruit to the
city and territory.
We know Of no movement which is re-
ceiviur, or should receive, more hearty
announcement at the hands of Cheyenne
than the proposed celebration. 1t should
be entered into heartily by all classes of
people, and no effort should be spared to
make an occasion memorable in the his
tory Of the town.

Cash on the Nall.

One of the heaviest cash transactions
ever made IN this city was contaminated
at > O'Clock this morning, when Harry p.
Hynds bought, paid for and took posses
sion of the Capitol saloon and gambling
house on Ferguson street, founded and
managed Tor the past year by Rawlins &
Austin. The consideration was not
stated, but must have been very heavy,
ms the furnishings Of the house originally
cost over $1,000. The transfer includes
the finest bar fixtures in the West, a large
stock of wines, liquors and cigars, costly
pictures and furniture and high priced
gambling tools.
The sight of the purchase money as it
lay on the table in the house attracted the
attention Of habitues of the place. 1t was
in $50 gold pieces and bills of large de-
nomination, and the high rollers han
died it like so many ten cent pieces. Mr..
llynds is well known in this city, having
been proprietor of a gambling house and
saloon here for some years past. He will
retain the ownership and management of
his Seventeenth establishment. Ia the
Capitol Mr.. Hynds will have as his lieu
tenant and manager of the club room Mr..
Barney Boise, formerly of Leadville and
well known in Western sporting circles.

We offer no apology for d~eyoting so much time
and attention to this much neglected class Of
diseascsbelleytng that no condition of humanity
is too wretched to merit the sympathy and best
services Of the profession to which we belong
as many are Innocent sufferers, and that
the physician who devotes himself
70 relieving the afflicted and saving
thein from worse than death, Is no less a
THAI the surgeon or physician who by close APP
pllcation excels In any other branch OF his pro-
iessiOn. And, fortunately for humanity, the day
is dawning when the false phiienthrophy that
condemned the victims OF folly or crime, like
the lepers under the Jewish law. to die uncared
Tor. has passed away.

Easily-Made Things.

CINNAMON RosEs.-In making my
sweet milk and baking-powder. Often
there is portion left over, and this |
roll out thin and sprinkle plentifully
with granulated sugar and powdered
cinnamon. Then roll it up snugy
and cut in inch lengths, which place
close together on buttered tin and
bake ten or twelve minutes. a little
sugar sprinkled over the top before
baking does no harm. Biscuit dough
with bit of butter rolled in, can be
used in the same way The children
think these . roses" very cute and nice.
CAKE AND COOKIES WITH ONE
EGG.-Break an egg into cake-bowl-
reserving tea-spoonful of the white
for a by-and-by frosting-and add a
small cup of the best brown sugar, three
tablespoons of melted butter, half a
cup of milk, enough of flour for a mod
eratelv thick batter, heaped teaspoon
of baking-powder, and extract of lemon
or orange for flavor. Beat all briskly
together for five minutes and bake
three-quarters of the mixture in a but
tered pie-tin. To the remainder of the
batter put flour enough to roll, adding
any kind of spice liked, and half cup
of currants or chopped raisins, if at
hand, and you will have plate of nice
cookies. For frosting the cake put a
teaspoon of water and few drops of
tlavoring with the bit of egg-white, and
make sufficiently thick with pulverized
sugar.-COr. Country Home.

Wants a Pension.

Joseph Ainsworth of Woodbury. re-
Gently came to Montpelier and made
application for a pension, his disability
being disease of the lungs contracted
at Worcester, VT, in 1862. Mr. Aims
worth, who is now over eighty years of
age, enlisted in Company E, Eighth
Vermont Regiment. He says that he
was promised an Office if he persuaded
large number of men to enlist. He
went to work enlisting men, and was
so successful that he was sure of an
office in the company. He was taken
sick at Worcester, however, which pre-
vented his being mustered in and going
to the front, and that illness, he alleges,
resulted in the disability for which he
now claims a pension. This was all
the service he performed as a soldier.
7. j. Deavitt, who made the applica-
ton, informed him that he had pro.
cured pensions for several soldiers who
contracted disabilities before leaving
the state, but could give him but little
encouragement, as he was, at the time
